I am really interest to know that the Usage of bandwidth calculation for a server/website by WHM is correct or not .If not then what percenatge we can assume variation in the over all usage.


Thank You

It is fairly accurate. The variance is probably not worth bothering over usually.

According to my knowledge I agreed with you.But I am surprised with nocster billing department because they are charging me for 60% extra bandwidth usage comparatively WHM calculation and they told me they are right .
I think this really very bad .

This is ONLY http,ftp and pop traffic (usually 97% of traffic), please use a tool like bandmin or mrtg to see traffic on other ports. If the user is doing traffic on other ports it will not appear here.


I suppose if you use some other port for traffic it may not be accurate. ;) I think overall though that it is fairly accurate, but I have had problems with it freezing stats before.

Well, Nocster may be right. Over normal usage, Cpanel will log correctly. However it is possible to bypass the Cpanel logging by using an IP I believe. (for example instead of using the domain name it uses an IP) I think I have an account done it before.

Do check your bandmin and see if it agrees with Nocster.

Bandmin will be fairly accurate.
